Hi, my name is Eric, I am a 17 year old who has been an avid football supporter of Real Madrid for more than 10 years! I have followed the team around the world, from their tour in the USA to the likes of Bergamo, Braga, and Valencia in Europe. I have met some incredible people and explored many unique cultures during my travels, which have truly shaped who I am today.

This has led me to set up International 12th Man with the mission to help international fans experience an authentic fan experience in Europe, offering my expertise in making their trips as enjoyable as possible!

I have been very fortunate to have my story told to the world via El Desmarque, a Spanish sports media outlet. To learn more about my journey as a football fan, please visit this article: El Real Madrid y el apoyo de un aficionado chino por toda Europa

Football unites the world!
